First check that you have added INTERNET permission in your manifest.

Next, Check what is the extension of your video format.

here you can check what files Android phones and tablets support, with both codec and filename extension information provided.

if you want to play videos on Android, find a multi-format video player or convert videos to Android compatible formats.
